FAM177A1 & COMBINEDBrain
Biorepository Collection in Seattle
​
The FAM177A1 Research Fund is fortunate to be part of COMBINEDBrain. COMBINEDBrain is a non-profit consortium of over 60 patient advocacy groups for rare, genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. They recognize the need to collect patient samples for researchers to identify biomarkers to treat /develop treatments for our children.
COMBINEDBrain will be collecting urine and blood samples (processed for plasma and a finger stick) to be stored in the COMBINEDBrain Biorepository and available for select biomarker projects and other interested researchers. They will also collect several online surveys to be completed by caregivers.
